The Lennon Wall

Our evening tour took us to a different part of Prague than where our hotel was.
The Lennon Wall represented not only a memorial to John Lennon and his ideas for peace,
but also a monument to free speech and the non-violent rebellion of Czech youth against the regime.
Since the summer of 2019, nobody is allowed to contribute to the John Lennon wall without permission.
The wall as a symbol of peace had faded into the background as tourists often scribbled vulgar and inappropriate graffiti.
After visiting the Wall we were taken to a local brewery run by monks to sample some of their delicious brews.
A fun evening was had!

Busy, well done street art Jane.

Such a shame to spoil the original idea and thought behind this wall mural. Peace on Earth will always be the ultimate goal for mankind, lets hope we can get there before it's too late.

Interesting wide shot of the Lennon Wall covered with various expressions and later, the graffiti, and the ground covered with tiny tiles and small pebble stones of different colours. ~VVV~
